Concept Proliferation as an Educational Good: Epistemic Injustice,Conceptual Revolutions,and Human Flourishing

This article presents a pedagogical approach for disrupting epistemic injustice. In it, A. C. Nikolaidis first demonstrates that different forms of epistemic injustice — testimonial, hermeneutical, and contributory — are the result of limited or distorted conceptual resources and then argues that concept proliferation can be a promising educational means for overcoming such limitations and distortions. Concept proliferation involves a combination of increasing exposure to diverse, especially marginalized, concepts and providing students with necessary critical tools for questioning harmful and erroneous concepts. Concept proliferation is beneficial for both individual students and society at large. It liberates students from the confines of harmful concepts that limit their self-understanding, but also provides them with skills necessary to challenge hegemonic concepts that distort collective (social) understanding and contribute to epistemic and systemic injustice.     

任务教学法在大学英语口语教学中的应用

如何提高学生的口语水平始终是英语教学中的难点和重点。现在大学的口语教学虽然基本上采用交际法教学，但由于学生过分依赖交际策略，而不是通过句法等语言结构来加工信息，语言的流利程度虽有所提高，但准确性和复杂性未能得到长足的进步。而任务教学法强调在任务的设计中对句式结构和交际意义的并重，在任务的实施中调控学习者的注意力资源，从而实现语言的准确性、复杂性和流利性这三大教学目标，实现语言能力的和谐发展与提高。因此，任务教学法可以解决现在英语口语教学中存在的一些问题。     

The case for natality in pastoral care and why it matters

The author presents the concept of natality for consideration in terms of pastoral care and educational purpose. The discussion identifies significant threats to the future for pastoral care in schools, including the Global Educational Reform Movement and the increasing emphasis on teachers taking charge of discipline in the classroom, at the expense of relational and emotional engagement. The author proposes options for professional development and improvements in school culture with natality as a recurrent reference point in a holistic view of education.

Beliefs about knowledge and knowing and multiple‐text comprehension among upper secondary students

Using a sample of 282 Norwegian upper secondary students, we examined whether two dimensions of topic‐specific epistemic beliefs, concerning the certainty of knowledge and the justification for knowing, predicted students' understanding of seven texts representing partly conflicting views on climate change. Text comprehension was measured at three different levels. Topic knowledge and topic interest were included in the analyses as control variables. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that students' beliefs about justification for knowledge positively predicted text comprehension at all three levels. That is, students believing that knowledge claims about climate change should be based on rules of inquiry and the evaluation and integration of multiple information sources did better on the three comprehension measures.     

一个刻画理解的认知逻辑

通过两次问卷调查可以发现,绝大多数调查对象直观上都认为：理解一个命题就是知道它的意义。然后我们认为,在认知逻辑中,理解,作为一个模态算子,可以在一个较弱的意义上用知道算子来刻画：理解一个命题就是知道它的真假。由此,我们给出一个刻画理解的认知逻辑来揭示理解与知道之间的联系与区别。     

当代知识论怀疑主义的论证结构分析

关于当代知识论怀疑主义,国外知识论者已有很多探讨,但是,这个问题目前在国内还没有得到充分的研究,因此,还有许多问题没有得到解答。认真考察怀疑主义的论证结构,分析怀疑主义论证中的非充分决定性原则和确证的闭合原则的关系,以探讨何种知识论原则才是这种论证所需要的,何种形式的论证结构才是怀疑主义论证最基础的结构,在当代知识论研究中具有重大意义。

集群中认知共同体的涌现及其进化过程研究

讨论集群知识创新研究是集群知识系统研究的重要组成部分,而集群中的知识创新活动总是在一定的认知共同体中进行的。分析认知共同体的自组织特征,提出认知共同体的涌现过程就是互等结构的形成过程,并分析知识门户设计对认知共同体涌现机制的影响,并对认知共同体的进化过程进行分析,这对认识集群中的知识共享及创新活动具有重要意义。
